Volume Loss
Volume loss refers to the depletion of facial fullness and structural support, often resulting in sagging skin, hollowed areas, and a loss of youthful contours. This natural process is primarily caused by decreased collagen and fat production as we age. Treatments such as dermal fillers can effectively restore volume, lift sagging skin, and rejuvenate the facial appearance, providing a more youthful and refreshed look.
At Burnside Cosmetic, we have a variety of medical aesthetic treatments available to improve the appearance of volume loss. We encourage you to book a consultation with our medical team to discuss your concerns and treatment options.
